Letters from the People.

Editor Abbeville Meridional.
This School Board of Vermlll0n parish
have caused to be published an article
drawn up by a committee composed OF
members of the School Board, which Is
insulting to me, and which reflects upon
nv character as an attorney at law:
Being satisfied that the School BOARD
we're led to think, what the article pup
lished by them says they thought, DE-
cause they were SO informed by w: w.
Edwards, the successful attorney, whom
the School Board have now empsoyed,
| think it my duty to mysslf, and TO
nv friends, and also to NC. Kroussard,
j. Nugier, j. Morgan, f. c. Klbbs ana
NJ. V. Lampman (members OF tiae schooi
Board of this parish who are not ac-
ouainted with tbs facts ia the matter),
to let them know the whole truth as
to the cause which they thought was
lost through my mismanagement. Inc
cases of the School Board VS.. k'fehllng
was for unccllscted taxes, both poll n
school tax: the other ease, the State VS..
Kuehling, was for uEcol1ectsd State
taxes. Kushling went out OF Office May,
1884, and JOS. S. Nunez, his successor,
was placed in possession OF the tax rolls,
and had collected taxes thereon when
the above mentioned suits We're lnstl-
tuted. Considering this state OF facts,
under the authority of the decision OF
the Supreme Court Of Louisiana, ls the
case of the State VS.. Daspit, 30 A. liz,
in which case tbs Supreme Colft OF
this State said that Daspit eoHldn BOT bs
held RESPONSIBLE for uEcolleeted taxes,
because the tax rolls were taken out OF
his possession and placed in the pos
session and under tbs control OF his
successor. The same decision was at
frmed in State VS.. fiator, 81 A. 73o, iii
which this decree was af1irEsed. The
nudge of the district court and tht
Judges of the court of appeals decided
the two cases referred to by the Schoo
Board in favor of the defendant. The
annexed letters Of said judges will show
, the truth Of this statement.
Yours respectfully, &c. SNEDEs.

American Dairy Interests.

The New York Herald recently gave SOME
show that they represent an investment of
nearly five times as much n the entire
bank capital Of the country-that is to say. tine
bank capital is Il little less than S61 .G00,OD
while the dairy interests amount to more than
$1,000 100000.
The number of mich COWS is estimated 1T
Il 900 900. They give each an average of 800
gallons of milk annually. This would make an
aggregate milk production of 1850 ,000, 600
gallons, miniature ocean. Il fair sized Niagara.
Four thousand million gallons are used for
butter .0O, ,000.o00 for cheese and the renatn-
ing 2,isO.00 900 pass through the alultcratng
hands Of the miikman and grocer and down
the throats of G0000.OO0 men, women and
babies in this land Of freedom.
The quantity of butter manufactured and
used is about $50, 900, 900 pounds and OF cheese
6,50O,OOO pounds. The value of our dairy
products for the last twelve months was nearly
the value of our annual wheat yield, while it
closely approXimates that of our corn crop,
which is the most valuable of our farm pro-
duets.
TO support this immense dairy herd loo. .oo0-
900 acres of pasture land are required, worth
$4,000, 900. 1t is easy enough TO see. there

Disgruntled Democrats.

THE SECRET CIRCULAR THAT HAS BEEN SENT
THROUGH THE STATE.
The following circular. cmanatin. from
some di>gruntlcd Democrats, and probably or
isinatin@ in Il newspaper office, has found its
way into print:
Dear Slr:-lt seems to be the general desire
OF the Maine Democrats to have a mass conven-
ton this year, to take into consideration the
demoralized condition of the party. growing
out of the unpopular appointments to the prin-
cipll offices in the State; to consider the mae
tive condition of the party, and to take such
steps As may be thought best to perfect bet
ter organization. There are many reasons why
this convention should be held.
In the spring elections not single Democrat
ic vote was cast in the towns of BuckSport and
Verona, and the city of Augusta; Portland
gave the largest Republican majority cast for
10 years. and in nearly every town the elections
Went by default on the part of the Democrats
The principal presidential appointments to
office have been given to the old politicians who
held office under Buchanan. entirely ignoring
the younger element.
Democratic newspapers have been entirely
ignored. and their labor for years for the party
repudiatcd by non-recognition of their claims
for positions under a Democratic administra-
tion-not a single proprietor of Il Democratic
newspaper holds Il presidential appointment,
and only one any position whatever, while the
IiOl lIc hearty support OF
Democratic paper in the State
The appointments in this State are now con-
troled by Il railroad ring, in connection with
the otiice-hollers of the LIST district, without
consulting the merits or claims Of candidates,
and it is an indisputable fact that the admins
tration takes advice of Democrats who have
never identified themselves with those who
share the veXation, labor and expense of a cam
pagn.
With the influence of such advisers. men
have been given presidential appointments i'm
custom houses who We're liable to Indictment
for fraud, and were obliged to use their salary
under reform administration to settle dis
honest transactions to prevent exposure. DEM
ocrats have secured presidential appointments
as postmastcrs who stand convicted of crime
by the courts through this influence, backed by
Republican Senators.
1t is proposed to obtain the signatures of lO,-
coo Democrats to call for a convention. and
start a new organization in every county in the
State. Petitions inclosed are for consideration
THIS circmlor is sent to you IN perfect con-
.fdence, trih the request Mut, as q IoyM DEM
Ocrat yOu arW not make the contents public.
Petitions may be sent to the address of the
party on incloscd card.
